Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hi Ann, My very best friend, soulmate, partner is Cancerian. We have some fairly fiery moments but all in all, get on very well!!! So opposite to each other! I am on the go with many different projects, hate being stuck or confined, whereas Cancerians are real home bodies! Are you typical of a cancerian? They are such caring people. How is your band going? Are you feeling better tonight? Have you tried the cloud therapy yet, or are you on the wine therapy? Hope it is helping, whichever one you choose. I think I need another fill. I find I am eating more than a cup and am getting hungry within an hour and a half of eating. Only 2 weeks post fill, but then only a ml in the band. Hope all is well, take care and love Beverlee Beverlee Rhys Banded: September 3 2001 BMI: 43 // 39 Weight: Was ~ 122 Now ~ 109.5 Goal ~ half my excess weight After that ~ every kilos a bonus!! > >Reply-To: ozband >To: ozband > >Subject: Re: Re: Ann >Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2001 23:19:35 +1000 > > I am a cancer so it is close.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 One problem I have is no cooperation. My mom cooks because she has nothing else to do and enjoys it. But she would never think that was an ok dinner sure the roast would be ok if she cooked it in a crockpot with a can of high fat high sodium soup but she would have to have mashed potatoes and flour gravy with it as well as hot rolls in the oven and maybe some veggies smothered in butter and salt. Even if I make spaghettie with squash and no sug sauce for me she will still make hot garlic bread for to go with their regular spaghetti and fried potatoes and more than likely a box of brownies. It's just so hard.when everyone else is eating something so good and I smell it all cooking. ann maryann127@...> wrote:I never make separate meals, either. If I make pork tenderloin, zucchini and a salad, that's what my family eats. If I know someone doesn't like zucchini, I might just give them canned fruit or applesauce or leftover broccoli from the night before instead of the zucchini, but they basically still eat the same meal as me. Say you made pork tenderloin, zucchini and a salad. If your child hates zucchini but loves canned mac and cheesee, you can just open a can of macaroni and cheese for her to go along with the meat and salad. Sometimes, I make a main dish that my family members don't like. For instance, my hubby doesn't like eggplant parm, but my daughter and I do. So, I only make it occasionally, and my hubby fixes himself a sandwich or heats up leftovers. My daughter hates fish, so when I make it for my hubby and me, she makes some Ramen Pride noodles or she has leftovers from the night before. Sometimes, she will just eat the side dishes and skip the fish, adding some cheese or lunchmeat in place of it. But, for the most part, I just make a meat and veggies that everyone likes, since it's very easy to do that on SBD. Same with when I make soup, stews, casseroles. They just eat what I eat, since it's not like we eat strange foods on SBD. ann > What all are you making for your family that you can't eat?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Wow, you are very inspiring to me. Thank you so much for telling me your story. I will definitely keep you in mind when I get down. I'm still working on finishing the book and haven't " officially " started the diet yet but I AM anxious!

Fitzgerald http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/d/3;10705;62;0;1/c/210/t/140/s/230 /k/718f/weight.png> Re: Dawn's Introduction Hi Dawn, I'm ann from NJ. I started SBD 8 months ago and have 57 lbs off so far. I actually lost 10 lbs before SBD, so counting that, I really have 67 lbs off. I'm on meds that cause weight gain, too, plus I am a wheelchair user and can't really exercise, but I've lost all this weight anyway, so it can be done. ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
